Cherish the time

After some difficult negotiations with his family, Yijiao finally obtained his family's permission, and after some discussions, he set the target country as China.

...Of course, it is largely because of the close relationship between the Nine Star Club and the Chinese Chess Academy, and the recent exchanges with China.

After receiving a call from Yijiao again after half a year, Mr. Cheng Ze, the person in charge of the Nine Stars Club, first expressed his surprise and joy, and then severely criticized Yijiao's actions half a year ago, without saying a word Add him to the list of China trip.

"I'm very optimistic about you, Yijiao." At the end, the other party sighed with emotion, "...It's the best to pass this hurdle, welcome back."

Yijiao squeezed the phone tightly without making a sound.

When he first arrived in China, Yijiao lived in a hotel with members of the Nine Stars Club.

I go to the chess academy at [-] o'clock every morning and return to the hotel at [-] o'clock in the evening. I just play chess with Chinese chess players every day, and often play chess with my companions after I go back.

During this period, Yang Hai saw them running hard, and jokingly asked Yi Jiao whether he would like to live with him, which would save him a lot of accommodation fees.

After half a month of such days, Yijiao not only failed to find a way to break through the bottleneck, but also doubted his will to continue playing chess.

At the same time, the original communication schedule of the Nine Stars Club was coming to an end, and the group breathed a sigh of relief. Sakurano and Fukushima even began to plan where to go on the rest day before leaving.

Yijiao is very anxious.

Cheng Ze saw his mood and asked him if he wanted to stay in China for a while.

"I can help you to talk to Mr. Li, let you communicate with them here for a while longer, you can continue to stay in the hotel, but you have to take care of the expenses completely," said after thinking about it but worried "Be sure to remember to go back before the visa expires."

Yijiao was very grateful, but still said with sweat profusely: "I won't stay that long...the visa has six months."

Based on Yang Hai's previous invitation, Yi Jiao moved to live with Yang Hai in the following days.

After Yijiao asked, this technical geek who put his passion for Go on the computer asked him, and let him move into his dormitory in the chess academy without saying a word.

...But Teacher Li found out on the third day, and Yang Hai finally helped Yijiao win a two-month temporary accommodation right after all his hard work.

"Fortunately, Teacher Chengze spoke to you, and Teacher Li has a good impression of you." Yang Hai nestled in the rattan chair with his head in one hand and a book in the other. "Now I finally have nothing to worry about. You have to work hard for two months."

But working hard is easy to say, but quite difficult to do.

For the past half month, he has been playing chess players in the low-level group, and the number of times he loses is far more than that of wins. He has not benefited from it at all.

Just when Yijiao was about to give up, a turning point appeared.

The turning point came from two children, Zhao Shi, 12 years old, and Leping, 11 years old, both of whom were professional chess players who had just been selected to come to Beijing this year.

Looking at these two children, Yijiao thought that he would not lose to them.

The result was beyond his expectations.

Not only did he lose, but he also lost two people in a row, and he didn't even have any room to make excuses for himself.

He immediately remembered the chess game with Shinto!

The same age difference, the same outcome!

The only difference is that the strength shown by the opponent is not as strong as that shown by Hikari Shinto, which makes people completely unable to arouse the desire to fight back.

Immediately, Yijiao's heart was ignited with a raging fighting spirit.

At the same time, under Yang Hai's occasional guidance, he finally discovered that his problem was fear.

His fear came from Shindo's fierce attack that day.

This unconscious fear bound his hands and feet, making him look forward and backward when playing chess, completely unable to exert his due strength.

With the courage to fight to the end, I also understand my own problems.

Yijiao started his new battle.

While consciously restraining his fear of his opponent, he also tried to control his highly fluctuating mood according to what Yang Hai said.

This is the advice Yang Hai gave when he heard him say "will be affected by the reactions of others", asking him to try to use restraint and training to control his emotions caused by others - this is unexpected Harvested.

In the spirit of grasping with both hands and being firm with both hands, Yijiao's progress was quite obvious in the following days.

Not only did he win Leping a few days later, he also defeated several low-level chess players he had lost to before, and he even performed quite well in the game against Wang Xing, Lu Li and others.

On the second day before he left, Yijiao finally defeated Zhao Shi, and Yang Hai, who had overcome a certain difficulty, was also in a good mood and expressed that he could play chess with him.

Instead, Ikaku showed him the game with Shinto in the professional shogi player qualifiers.

At first Yang Hai didn't pay much attention to it, but the more he looked back, the more interested he was in this black chess player.

When he saw Heizi's "stab" to force Baizi to admit defeat, Yang Hai couldn't help standing up from his chair and shouting "Okay!"

"The chess player holding the black is called Hikari Shinto," Yijiao withdrew his right hand and put it on his knee, looking at the chessboard in front of him expressionlessly, "When I played this game with me, he was only 12 years old."

Yang Hai immediately reacted, "...So that's the case... No wonder you reacted so violently when you lost to Le Ping and Zhao Shi."

"Before playing against him, Go has always been the source of my confidence and the motivation to support me to go on," Yijiao held his hand with some anxiety, "...but after that, I'm not sure."

"Since then, I have fallen into a trough." Speaking of this, Yijiao closed his eyes and paused for a moment, then opened his eyes suddenly and said in a deep voice, "Now, I finally got rid of it."

"I finally understand that maybe I don't have the miraculous strength like Hikaru Shinto, nor the outstanding talents like Zhao Shi and Leping, but this doesn't mean that my strength is not enough to support me in this field. Go on the road." Yijiao said with a firm gaze, "...From the very beginning to the present, Go...is my pillar."

"Sure enough..." Yang Hai listened to the words quietly, then scratched his head, "No matter how many times I listen to it, I still admire the courage of the Japanese to speak movie lines in daily life."

"Huh?" Yijiao immediately panicked, "Electrical, movie lines?"

"This game," Yang Hai didn't answer his words, he closed his fan with his backhand, and the handle of the closed fan hit the palm of his left hand, "Can I show it to Wang Xing?"
